Actually, cats can be very playful. And when I say cats, I really mean cats, not kittens. They will run around, play, and overall be very fun. Some even play games like dogs, including fetch. I mean, yes, some cats are lazy, but anyone who tries to say no dogs are lazy is a liar or very unknowing about what they are saying.

Oh Hatiko! I remember that movie! Legend!!!!

Umm, I think you were misinformed if you are talking about Hachiko. He waited for nine years (movies aren't always accurate, even if they are based on a true story). And cats can protect you too!! So, maybe cats don't find drugs or dig people out of fallen buildings. But more importantly is that they do other things. I have actually known and read of cats who saved lives. Anyone who says dogs are the only ones who save lives are wrong. My relative's cat, Luna, saved their life by waking them up in time when their house caught on fire. So try to think again before you say cats don't help people.

A dog is not the best companion ever, not for everyone. The first ¨reason¨ is much more an opinion and thus invalid (though I could say the same for any other reason, I guess).

What do you mean by ¨stab in the back¨? Like a cat backstabbing someone? As in betrayal or literally? If literally, then yeah, some cats have claws but some don't.

To say that dogs will always be there for you is as much true to cats as to dogs. They'll literally be there until you get rid of them or they die. Figuratively, as in emotions, dogs do tend to feel how you feel, but that kind of goes to show how following and unthinking dogs can be.

Just because dogs are active, doesn't mean they get you out of the house. There are countless people who have a fence and just keep their dogs outside, so the dog doesn't make a big difference there.

I'm not even sure what ¨best exercise buddies¨ is supposed to mean, but I think it is also an opinion and unnecessary.

Dogs are too loyal and trusting. They learn that humans are nice and then get themselves killed by some human who's mean. Too trusting. As for loyalty, it is sweet to imagine that a dog will die for its human but that isn't always true.

You are saying dogs are hilarious? Have you ever even been on the Internet? Or YouTube? Because you can find SO MANY hilarious, adorable cats you would not believe how many there are. Way to many to even count. And in real life, cats can be so funny, which is why they got on the Internet in the first place. Don't even start on the funny factor.

Yes, dogs need you. Which is why they are so dependent it could kill them. Cats need you too, but they can at least help themselves a bit better. I mean, if for some reason you had to leave your pet behind in some case, would you want to know that your pet is sad and will die for some reason, or do you want to know that it can take care of itself?

It is very untrue to say that children love dogs and not cats. Children love either, most of the time. And anyway, saying a dog gives a child a responsibility is kind of against dogs because it suggests that dogs are harder to take care of than cats. And besides, cats give children a responsibility too, just not such a big difficult one.

Your last argument is the same as loyal and trusting, and you can just go back and reread my argument for that. However, let me say again that dogs are way too loving in some cases.

I love dogs but I hate the discrimination of cats.

Yes, I think people feel dog's love and fun with it more often than with cat. That's why I'm for Dogs!

Umm... you can play with cats. They are very playful (and no, I don't mean just kittens, I really mean cats). Saying that cats take naps and don't stay active suggests that dogs are always awake and doing stuff with you, which is impossible. Besides, there are many cats who do stay active. It's just a stereotype that cats are always lazy. And not only will dogs go outside and walk with you, you have to go outside and walk with them no matter what you feel like.

I see. There are so many arguments against that I hardly know where to start...

So, let's first face the facts: Dogs are less self-relying than cats, meaning they hardly know what to do supposing you weren't home. Then they end up making messes and tearing things apart. The worst a cat will do under normal circumstances is throw up (which is a lot worse with dogs) or use something unpleasant as a litter box (such as a pillow). But if a dog makes those mistakes that cats do sometimes, you will regret it a whole lot more.

I don't even know what you are trying to say here, but all I see is opinion.

Cats can be very exciting. Haven't you ever owned one? Oh, wait, even if you did that is one cat in general and doesn't matter to the overall. My point is that cats are exciting all the time; plus they can be exciting without tearing up either the house or the yard, and I couldn't really say so in the favor of dogs. Also, I think everyone is sick of the whole ¨man's best friend¨ thing. I know I am very tired of hearing it. Can't a dog lover come up with a better reason for why cats aren't good? Saying that choosing correctly makes dogs not dangerous suggests otherwise for cats, which isn't true. Lastly, dogs can scare younger children very easily, just by sheer size or the energetic approach. But, children love cats and constantly try to run after them and pet them (regardless of whether they pet the cat's fur the wrong way).

dogs barking is sound pollution......i hate that noise,cats have sweet voice meowwww.....:)

This may be the worst reason I have heard yet. Because dogs can bark? Am I the only one who has been kept up for much longer than usual due to some annoying chihuahua (rat-dogs, in my opinion) or big dog barking its head off? What are they even trying to do? Prove how tough they are? Because it is super annoying.

Wow, in horror movies. I am sorry for any time I may have argued with you, because you clearly have the best source: a HORROR MOVIE. Because you have discovered this great source of knowledge, I am now your humble servant.

Who gets their information from a fictional horror movie? Besides, there isn't really such thing as the paranormal, and if dogs are warning us of it, maybe cats are all the better. Yes, dogs can warn us of some things, but no, they don't warn us of everything.

The ¨you own dog, cat owns you¨ thing is in a way true, but not really. You do own a dog, because dogs think in packs and you are their Alpha, therefore you own them. Suppose the dog thought they were the Alpha, and now you have a ¨dog owns you¨ situation. Ta-da. It may seem like a cat owns you, but really the cats are smart enough to think not in a pack's ways but in its kind of solitary way. If I were a cat, I wouldn't do everything the people said either.

Dogs so often tear things down, eat what they're not supposed to, throw up on whatever, chew up whatever the can, and you say cats are destructive? Besides, cats don't ¨prowl around like they own the place¨. It's just them looking around at things; cats can get kind of scared when things are out of place or amiss. It's not because they have spite for everything around them-- if they did, maybe, just maybe, there would be a reason for that.

Just because we don't have police cats doesn't mean that cats can't fend off burglars and criminals. In a true story (from a book called ¨Homer's Odyssey¨ by Gwen Cooper, not to be mistaken by the poet), a BLIND cat named Homer stops a burglar from hurting his owner, and goes as far as terrifying the man and almost clawing him up, being dangerous and fierce enough to scare him away. Let me repeat that that is a true story. So what was that about cats not warning off or fending off criminals or burglars, again?

Some cats will actually play fetch. And, some dogs won't. Besides, what is so great about taking dogs on walks? And maybe the reason cats wont let you put a lead on them is because they are smarter.

You're saying that DOGS can hunt? Cats are born hunters! It's not even a stereotype, it's true. Cats also can guard things, and don't humans also love when they want to be loved? I think that cats are actually a lot like us, so maybe you suggest that humans should become more following?

Dogs don't jump off of shelves onto you, yes. But no matter what age or size you are, a dog will actually plain jump onto you and knock people over. I could go on, but I have said enough on this topic, I think, for you to finally have gotten it.

Yes. I always want to pick up a 70 pound animal clubbing me with its tail.

Of course, not all dogs are big, and not all of the small ones are ugly and ridiculously annoying. However, cats are easier to pick up and, often, hug. Plus they purr when you be nice to them.
